In the inspectors' and the school's words

Academic
Pupils study a broad range of subjects from Year 7 onwards and they rise to high levels of challenge from the start.[8]
Warmth
Its values of kindness and respect are evident in the exceptionally positive relationships pupils have with each other and with staff[8]
Pastoral care
The school has a ‘we do not give up on them’ approach. Indeed, the school’s pastoral work is very strong, supported by its chaplaincy.[8]
Behaviour
their excellent behaviour in lessons and social time. Behaviour and attitudes Outstanding[8]
Learning support
Teachers receive clear information about any pupil’s additional needs and how to help them. They adapt their teaching accordingly. As a result, pupils are very successful in public examinations, including pupils with additional needs.[8]
Enrichment
Pupils in all years participate enthusiastically in the wide range of activities on offer such as clubs, trips and formal schemes[8]
Pupil voice
sixth-form students embody generosity and service through their leadership of charity work and pupil voice.[8]
Independence
Consequently, pupils become confident and independent learners, regardless of starting points.[8]
Structure
The school’s culture of respect for self and others demands high standards of behaviour and attendance. Clear routines and systems ensure that both are excellent.[8]
